The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, as prayer, for prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

A prayer shawl or blanket embraces the recipient with the unconditional love of the Lord. It is a gift reaching out to those in need of comfort and solace as well as in celebration and joy. Prayer squares are given to those going on mission trips, working for social justice. Many blessings are prayed into every item we make.

Our gifts of love and warmth and prayer

It's done.  I just came back from delivering 35 prayer shawls/lapghans to the folks at Crescent Green.  Mary, the Activities Director, expressed her deep felt thanks to all of us for our gifts. She wished us a blessed Christmas.

"There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward."
